I hereby accept membership in the Skidmore College community and, with full realization of the responsibilities inherent in membership, do agree to adhere to honesty and integrity in all relationships, to be considerate of the rights of others, and to abide by the college regulations.

• When I receive approval to tutor, I will introduce myself to all faculty members who are currently teaching sections of the individual course or courses I have been approved to tutor.
• When a student contacts me for tutoring, I will get back to that student in a timely fashion (1-2 days) to schedule a tutoring session or to let the student know I cannot tutor him or her.

• I will not assist a student on a take home exam.

• I will maintain accurate records of tutoring sessions by recording, completing and submitting my "Bi-Weekly Tutoring Session Reports" to Student Academic Services on time.
• I will also submit my hours in Student AutoTime in a timely manner and according to pay period end dates.
• I will not falsify the amount of hours I tutor a student or any other information regarding my tutee or tutoring sessions.  Falsification will result in termination as a tutor.  It is also an honor code violation.
